Jayanth,

I'd be happy to, except that my solution wouldn't solve this problem.
I believe that Tim and D. Matt provided good answers.

Whether a single-lined function chain or a tree of functions is what
you're interested in, you should start here:

If you have more questions, post them, and I'd be only too eager to
throw in some more examples.

BTW: After some time with Lua, you'll then yearn for LTN12 example to
be implemented with coroutines, because it simplifies the design a bit
more and makes it even more powerful.
